I'm digging into my new teaching position and am absolutely loving it. I have 40 students total and am teaching several of them more than one class. 40 students from I believe 8 countries, over 60% of the students are international which makes for absolutely fascinating class dynamics. They are bright, hungry, and eyes are wide-eyed open soaking in the material, their new surroundings, and anticipating future prospects and fulfilling their potential.
Married life is simply wonderful. We do have plenty of cultural differences to overcome but we are doing it patiently, thoughtfully, and intentionally while we learn from one another. We help each other with our daily life and dream and plan with each other our future life. I have never been this disciplined and organized before, a change I've sorely needed and now not only does my wife assist me in accomplishing this, she unintentionally motivates me to improve several areas of my life. The changes I'm going through are healthy (if not necessarily easy) and love and appreciate her every day.
